Research - Student's Clinical Outcomes
Outcomes of Trainees' Clinical Work
The first PTUK play therapy research report produced was
based upon the outcomes of a short-term play therapy project in over 20
schools. This is available to PTUK members who contribute data to the UK
national database of clinical outcomes - SEPACTO - developed
and managed by PTUK.
Our second play therapy research report (Autumn 2005) is
based upon the clinical outcomes of students placement work whilst taking the
APAC Certificate and Diploma courses. The Goodman's SDQ was used as the
measuring instrument.
